About Gilead Bible Church

In Old Testament times, Gilead was known for a balm with healing properties (Jeremiah 8:22, 46:11, 51:8). Bearing in mind that God’s people should be like the balm of Gilead — serving and healing the broken-hearted with the love and redemptive gospel of Jesus Christ — five families and a pastor started Gilead Bible Church in December 1992. Initially, the church met at the pastor’s home in San Ramon. When the church grew, worship services were moved to a local elementary school. Initially, services and Sunday School classes were in Cantonese only. As the needs of the congregation grew, services and classes in English and Mandarin were added. Through God’s blessing and the faithfulness and generosity of many, the church purchased a property in San Ramon in 1997. After extensive remodeling, our first worship service in the new property was held on Easter Sunday 1998. Over the years, our church has witnessed many dramatic demonstrations of God’s love, mercy, and grace. Today, Gilead Bible Church has worship services in English and Mandarin, and has Sunday School classes in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. We also offer weekly prayer meetings, weekly fellowship meetings, monthly fellowship meetings, and several family events throughout the year. Our goal is to glorify God by helping to meet the spiritual needs of residents in the San Ramon Valley and nearby communities. We welcome you to join us!
